Hi there

I beleive this is a post war reproduction ,re the thin letters , numbers and the reverse is not the norm for WWII era.

Here is an example of one I have regarded as mid to late war.



Below are some differing styles of COMMANDO titles for comparison

Thanks for the input Phil

All good mate

I tend to stick to the common embroidered style WWII commando titles as there are so many reproductions out there, some that have been in circulation for a long time.

Any for sale ?

Sorry mate, I like to keep my variations.

Check ebay every now and again they tend to crop up,average price is 25-30 GBP.

The basic WWII commando titles available are 3,6 and 9 Commando then they get harder and more expensive from there.

Here are some more examples to look for.

6 Commando





9 Commando



2 Commando 1942 Harder and more expensive to get, I got this in my home city Auckland a fraction of the UK price.



4 Commando Has a French Troop Keiffer as above
